Music superstar Lizzo, known for her empowering lyrics and chart-topping hits, shocked fans when she announced on Instagram in March 2024 that she is quitting the music industry.
The Grammy Award-winning artist expressed her frustration with how she has been portrayed in the media and the constant scrutiny she faces.
In a heartfelt post to her 12+ million followers, Lizzo shared her desire to make music and bring happiness to the world, but lamented the negative attention and lies that have been spread about her. She spoke out against being the target of jokes and having her character disrespected by those who do not know her.
“I’m constantly up against lies being told about me for clout and views…Being the butt of the joke every single time because of how I look,” Lizzo wrote. “My character being picked apart by people who don’t know me and disrespecting my name.”
She concluded her post with a bold statement: “I didn’t sign up for this sh*t. I QUIT!” This announcement sent shockwaves through the music industry and left fans wondering about the future of Lizzo’s career.
Despite this decision, Lizzo has achieved tremendous success with her music, which is known for its messages of self-love and body positivity. The singer has an estimated net worth of $40 million, according to Parade, and rose to international prominence in 2019 with the release of her album “Cuz I Love You.”
Additionally, Lizzo has been in a relationship with entertainer Myke Wright since 2023. While there were rumors of a split in the summer of that year, the couple made a rare public appearance together in March 2024 at the Vanity Fair Oscars Party, as reported by the Daily Mail.
Fans of Lizzo are eagerly awaiting further updates on her music career and future plans, hoping that she will return to the industry she has influenced and inspired with her powerful voice and empowering message.
